The equation of the line parallel to y = 4x – 2 that passes through the point (–1, 5) is y = .

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the required line has slope 4. Write it as y = 4x + b, then substitute the point (−1, 5): 5 = 4(−1) + b, which gives b = 9. Therefore, the equation is y = 4x + 9, choice D.
